A GAME OF THRONES in 55 words.
White Walkers!
Gared loses his head.
Wolves for Starks.
Robert Hands it to Ned
Bran flies.
Jon: his back to the wall.
Don’t trust Baelish
Catelyn, Dwarf, Lysa, Brat.
Imp, Bronn, Mountain men
Daenerys loses everything
Robert gets boared
Ned loses his head
Arya escapes, Sansa doesn’t
Displaced queen cum Kaleesi has hot time.
Dragons!
For this week's FF 55 entries
visit The G-Man
The Lighter Side of JzB
Here you will find photos, poetry, and possibly some light-hearted foolishness. For the Heavier Side
of JzB see my other blog, Retirement Blues. (There be dragons!)
I claim copyright and reserve all rights for my original material of every type and genre.
Every day visits*
From Moose, Goose, and Orb Weaver
All seized by Haiku
"Why moose and goose?" you may ask. Back on 2/04/13 Pirate wrote a haiku with an elk in it, and I responded with
one with a moose and then included him every day. A few days later in comments Mystic asked "Where's the goose?"
So I started including her with this post on 2/07. A week later on the 14th, Mark Readfern
asked for and received a spider. The rest is history.
*Well, most days, anyway. Grant me a bit of poetic license.

Friday Flash 55
ALAS, INDEED!
Alas, poor Yorick!
Was he stabbed? Poisoned?
Who knows? But still dead
Then . . .
He lost his head
Was he worse off then Marie Antoinette?
Or better?
Having seen dear friends
Devolve into dementia where they
Hallucinate
Forget their family members
Can’t find the bathroom
I’ve come to appreciate the virtues
Of a nice clean beheading

Friday Flash 55
This week, the G-Man gave us a fun and light-hearted mini-romp.
Mine is in a much darker hue.
I sat in the last pew.
Her husband sat in front, head bowed.
Her daughters, now almost grown women, looking so much like her, gave the readings.
I shed my silent tear, prayed for the repose of her soul; that her sins may be forgiven; and thanked God that they would never have to know.

Friday Flash 55 - Fun While it Lasts
Fun While it Lasts
The last man on earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock at the door.
He opened it, and let in the last woman.
“I’m a bitch and you’re an asshole, “ she said, taking off her clothes, “but we’re all we got.”
Things were interesting for a moment.
Then the meteor hit.

Friday Flash 55
I haven't tasted human flesh yet, but I have written a Friday Flash 55.
The green of fairie's eyes varies with lighting and mood -- yours and hers.
Emerald in sunlight or passion; moss or fern in winter, or low light.
Jade if angered or you hurt them badly.
Under filtered moonlight, or at dusk [if you are especially pensive] they can appear gray.
But that is an illusion.
This is reduced to 55 words from a comment I left at Jasmine Calyx. It was rather stream of consciousness at the time, and doubly so now.
A FAIRIE'S EYES

Friday Flash 55
On Saturday. I'm a day late, but have a dollar in my pocket.
Here are two entries, continuing the weird story that is building itself in a variety of flash formats.
Cheryl gazes at her new-born daughter’s beautiful face, not quite identical to hers – a variation on a theme.
Her wisps of blond hair are curly.
Her little dimpled knees, her fingers and toes are perfect.
Everything about her is perfect. Everything.
She yawns and stretches the way babies do, and flutters her tiny diaphanous wings.
As Cheryl and Gil are preparing dinner, she says, " We haven’t cooked together for a while."
Gil catches her meaning.
Later that night, as they lay with their limbs entangled, Cheryl whispers, "I really do love you."
"Really?,” Gil wonders. How much was she doubting herself?
"And I really do love you," he replies.
